Nitrogen-15 is frequently used in ] (NMR), because unlike the more abundant ], it has a ] ] of ½, which simplifies observation by NMR. ]s can be isotopically labelled by cultivating them in a medium containing nitrogen-15 as the only source of nitrogen. In addition, nitrogen-15 is used to label proteins in quantitative ] (e.g. ]). |
